Put your homework on GitHub!

If you were not able to get set up on GitHub last week, go here and get set up first. Then, do the following (if you get stuck on a step, don’t worry, I will help! You can always get started on the homework and we can figure out the GitHub piece later):

• Create a repository on GitHub, giving it a nice name so you know it is for the 4th weekly exercise assignment (follow the instructions in the document/video).
  
• Copy the repo name so you can clone it to your computer. In R Studio, go to file –> New project –> Version control –> Git and follow the instructions from the document/video.
  
• Download the code from this document and save it in the repository folder/project on your computer.
  
• In R Studio, you should then see the .Rmd file in the upper right corner in the Git tab (along with the .Rproj file and probably .gitignore).
  
• Check all the boxes of the files in the Git tab under Stage and choose commit.
  
• In the commit window, write a commit message, something like “Initial upload” would be appropriate, and commit the files.
  
• Either click the green up arrow in the commit window or close the commit window and click the green up arrow in the Git tab to push your changes to GitHub.
  
• Refresh your GitHub page (online) and make sure the new documents have been pushed out.
  
• Back in R Studio, knit the .Rmd file. When you do that, you should have two (as long as you didn’t make any changes to the .Rmd file, in which case you might have three) files show up in the Git tab - an .html file and an .md file. The .md file is something we haven’t seen before and is here because I included keep_md: TRUE in the YAML heading. The .md file is a markdown (NOT R Markdown) file that is an interim step to creating the html file. They are displayed fairly nicely in GitHub, so we want to keep it and look at it there. Click the boxes next to these two files, commit changes (remember to include a commit message), and push them (green up arrow).
  
• As you work through your homework, save and commit often, push changes occasionally (maybe after you feel finished with an exercise?), and go check to see what the .md file looks like on GitHub.
  
• If you have issues, let me know! This is new to many of you and may not be intuitive at first. But, I promise, you’ll get the hang of it!

Instructions

• Put your name at the top of the document.

• For ALL graphs, you should include appropriate labels.

• Feel free to change the default theme, which I currently have set to theme_minimal().

• Use good coding practice. Read the short sections on good code with pipes and ggplot2. This is part of your grade!

• When you are finished with ALL the exercises, uncomment the options at the top so your document looks nicer. Don’t do it before then, or else you might miss some important warnings and messages.

Warm-up exercises from tutorial

These exercises will reiterate what you learned in the “Mapping data with R” tutorial. If you haven’t gone through the tutorial yet, you should do that first.

Starbucks locations (ggmap)

1. Add the Starbucks locations to a world map. Add an aesthetic to the world map that sets the color of the points according to the ownership type. What, if anything, can you deduce from this visualization?
   In North America and Europe the ownership types are a mix of licensed and company owned. In Asia the ownership type is either company owned (South Asian), Licensed (southeast asia) and Joint Venture (Japan/Korea).

world <- get_stamenmap(
    bbox = c(left = -180, bottom = -57, right = 179, top = 82.1), 
    maptype = "terrain",
    zoom = 2)

2. Construct a new map of Starbucks locations in the Twin Cities metro area (approximately the 5 county metro area).

Twin_Cities_Metro <- get_stamenmap(
    bbox = c(left = -93.3, bottom = 44.90, right = -92.97, top = 45.02), 
    maptype = "terrain",
    zoom = 13)

## 45 tiles needed, this may take a while (try a smaller zoom).

  theme_map()

## Warning: Removed 152 rows containing missing values (geom_point).

3. In the Twin Cities plot, play with the zoom number. What does it do? (just describe what it does - don’t actually include more than one map).
   

It changes the level of details in the area. If it was 2 the map is just one color. If it was 12 or 13 then it is fairly detailed suitable for the small area of map.

4. Try a couple different map types (see get_stamenmap() in help and look at maptype). Include a map with one of the other map types.

This is the same map except the maptype has been changed to “toner”.

Twin_Cities_Metro <- get_stamenmap(
    bbox = c(left = -93.3, bottom = 44.90, right = -92.97, top = 45.02), 
    maptype = "toner",
    zoom = 13)

5. Add a point to the map that indicates Macalester College and label it appropriately. There are many ways you can do think, but I think it’s easiest with the annotate() function (see ggplot2 cheatsheet).

    bbox = c(left = -93.3, bottom = 44.90, right = -92.97, top = 45.02),

Choropleth maps with Starbucks data (geom_map())

The example I showed in the tutorial did not account for population of each state in the map. In the code below, a new variable is created, starbucks_per_10000, that gives the number of Starbucks per 10,000 people. It is in the starbucks_with_2018_pop_est dataset.

census_pop_est_2018 <- read_csv("https://www.dropbox.com/s/6txwv3b4ng7pepe/us_census_2018_state_pop_est.csv?dl=1") %>% 
  separate(state, into = c("dot","state"), extra = "merge") %>% 
  select(-dot) %>% 
  mutate(state = str_to_lower(state))

## 
## ── Column specification ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
## cols(
##   state = col_character(),
##   est_pop_2018 = col_double()
## )

starbucks_with_2018_pop_est <-
  starbucks_us_by_state %>% 
  left_join(census_pop_est_2018,
            by = c("state_name" = "state")) %>% 
  mutate(starbucks_per_10000 = (n/est_pop_2018)*10000)

6. dplyr review: Look through the code above and describe what each line of code does.

The first set of command starts with reading in the data, and then basically delete the extra word in that column with seperate() and select(). And then a new variable “state” is created that is the all lowercase version of the modified state.

The second data wrangling set of commands joins the starbucks_us_by_state dataset by state. All the trouble in the first set of command is such so that the all lowercase state names can match this dataset’s. And then a new variable “starbucks_per_10000” is created that counts death per 10,000 people.

7. Create a choropleth map that shows the number of Starbucks per 10,000 people on a map of the US. Use a new fill color, add points for all Starbucks in the US (except Hawaii and Alaska), add an informative title for the plot, and include a caption that says who created the plot (you!). Make a conclusion about what you observe.

states_map <- map_data("state")

starbucks_with_2018_pop_est %>% 
  ggplot() +
  geom_map(map = states_map,
           aes(map_id = state_name,
               fill = n/est_pop_2018*10000)) +
  #This assures the map looks decently nice:
  expand_limits(x = states_map$long, y = states_map$lat) + 
  theme_map() +
  geom_point(data = Starbucks %>% filter(Country == "US",
                                         !(`State/Province` %in% c("AK", "HI"))),
             aes(x = Longitude, 
                 y = Latitude), 
             alpha = .1, 
             size = 0.5,
             color = "green")

A few of your favorite things (leaflet)

8. In this exercise, you are going to create a single map of some of your favorite places! The end result will be one map that satisfies the criteria below.

• Create a data set using the tibble() function that has 10-15 rows of your favorite places. The columns will be the name of the location, the latitude, the longitude, and a column that indicates if it is in your top 3 favorite locations or not. For an example of how to use tibble(), look at the favorite_stp_by_lisa I created in the data R code chunk at the beginning.

• Create a leaflet map that uses circles to indicate your favorite places. Label them with the name of the place. Choose the base map you like best. Color your 3 favorite places differently than the ones that are not in your top 3 (HINT: colorFactor()). Add a legend that explains what the colors mean.

pal <- colorFactor('viridis', domain = my_fav_places$top3)

leaflet(data = my_fav_places) %>% 
  addProviderTiles(providers$Esri.WorldTopoMap) %>% 
  addCircles(lng = ~long, 
             lat = ~lat, 
             label = ~place,
             color = ~pal(top3)) %>%
  addLegend(position = "bottomleft",
            pal = pal,
            values = ~top3) %>%
  addPolylines(lng = ~long, 
             lat = ~lat)

• Connect all your locations together with a line in a meaningful way (you may need to order them differently in the original data).

I guess “meaningful” here means when the connections will represent your daily rountine or something but it does not apply here.

• If there are other variables you want to add that could enhance your plot, do that now.

Revisiting old datasets

This section will revisit some datasets we have used previously and bring in a mapping component.

Bicycle-Use Patterns

The data come from Washington, DC and cover the last quarter of 2014.

Two data tables are available:

• Trips contains records of individual rentals
• Stations gives the locations of the bike rental stations

Here is the code to read in the data. We do this a little differently than usually, which is why it is included here rather than at the top of this file. To avoid repeatedly re-reading the files, start the data import chunk with {r cache = TRUE} rather than the usual {r}. This code reads in the large dataset right away.

data_site <- 
  "https://www.macalester.edu/~dshuman1/data/112/2014-Q4-Trips-History-Data.rds" 
Trips <- readRDS(gzcon(url(data_site)))
Stations<-read_csv("http://www.macalester.edu/~dshuman1/data/112/DC-Stations.csv")

## 
## ── Column specification ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
## cols(
##   name = col_character(),
##   lat = col_double(),
##   long = col_double(),
##   nbBikes = col_double(),
##   nbEmptyDocks = col_double()
## )

9. Use the latitude and longitude variables in Stations to make a visualization of the total number of departures from each station in the Trips data. Use either color or size to show the variation in number of departures. This time, plot the points on top of a map. Use any of the mapping tools you’d like.

map <- get_stamenmap(
    bbox = c(left = -77.21,
             bottom = 38.79,
             right = -76.92,
             top = 39.13), 
    maptype = "terrain",
    zoom = 12)

newDataSet <- Stations %>%
  left_join(Trips, by = c('name' = 'sstation')) %>%
  group_by(lat, long) %>%
  summarize(num_trips = n())

## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'lat'. You can override using the `.groups` argument.

ggmap(map) +
  geom_point(data = newDataSet,
             aes(x = long,
                 y = lat,
                 color = num_trips),
             size = 0.5)

10. Only 14.4% of the trips in our data are carried out by casual users. Create a plot that shows which area(s) have stations with a much higher percentage of departures by casual users. What patterns do you notice? Also plot this on top of a map. I think it will be more clear what the patterns are.

Seems like most casual users are concentrated in the urban areas (city centers etc). In more suburban areas most rides are from registered users. Of course, in urban areas there is a large number of rides from registered users.

map <- get_stamenmap(
    bbox = c(left = -77.21,
             bottom = 38.79,
             right = -76.92,
             top = 39.13), 
    maptype = "terrain",
    zoom = 12)

newDataSet <- Stations %>%
  left_join(Trips, by = c('name' = 'sstation'))

ggmap(map) +
  geom_point(data = newDataSet,
             aes(x = long,
                 y = lat,
                 color = client),
             size = 0.5)

COVID-19 data

The following exercises will use the COVID-19 data from the NYT.

11. Create a map that colors the states by the most recent cumulative number of COVID-19 cases (remember, these data report cumulative numbers so you don’t need to compute that). Describe what you see. What is the problem with this map?

states_map <- map_data('state')

newDataSet <- covid19 %>%
  filter(!(state == "Alaska")) %>%
  group_by(state) %>%
  summarize(most_rec_cum = max(cases)) %>%
  mutate(state = str_to_lower(state))

newDataSet %>%
  ggplot() + 
  geom_map(aes(map_id = state,
               fill = most_rec_cum),
           map = states_map) +
  #This assures the map looks decently nice:
  expand_limits(x = states_map$long, y = states_map$lat) + 
  scale_fill_continuous(labels = scales::comma_format()) +
  theme_map() 

12. Now add the population of each state to the dataset and color the states by most recent cumulative cases/10,000 people. See the code for doing this with the Starbucks data. You will need to make some modifications.

states_map <- map_data('state')

newDataSet <- covid19 %>%
  mutate(state = str_to_lower(state)) %>%
  filter(!(state == "alaska")) %>%
  group_by(state) %>%
  summarize(most_rec_cum = max(cases)) %>%
  left_join(census_pop_est_2018, by = c('state' = 'state')) %>%
  mutate(most_rec_cum_per10k = most_rec_cum / est_pop_2018 * 10000)

newDataSet %>%
  ggplot() + 
  geom_map(aes(map_id = state,
               fill = most_rec_cum_per10k),
           map = states_map) +
  #This assures the map looks decently nice:
  expand_limits(x = states_map$long, y = states_map$lat) + 
  scale_fill_continuous(labels = scales::comma_format()) +
  theme_map() 

13. CHALLENGE Choose 4 dates spread over the time period of the data and create the same map as in exercise 12 for each of the dates. Display the four graphs together using faceting. What do you notice?

Minneapolis police stops

These exercises use the datasets MplsStops and MplsDemo from the carData library. Search for them in Help to find out more information.

14. Use the MplsStops dataset to find out how many stops there were for each neighborhood and the proportion of stops that were for a suspicious vehicle or person. Sort the results from most to least number of stops. Save this as a dataset called mpls_suspicious and display the table.

mpls_suspicious <- MplsStops %>%
  mutate(sus = problem == 'suspicious') %>%
  group_by(neighborhood) %>%
  summarize(num_stps = n(), 
            prop_sus = mean(sus, na.rm = TRUE))

15. Use a leaflet map and the MplsStops dataset to display each of the stops on a map as a small point. Color the points differently depending on whether they were for suspicious vehicle/person or a traffic stop (the problem variable). HINTS: use addCircleMarkers, set stroke = FAlSE, use colorFactor() to create a palette.

pal <- colorFactor('viridis', domain = MplsStops$problem)

leaflet(data = MplsStops) %>% 
  addProviderTiles(providers$Stamen.TonerHybrid) %>% 
  addCircleMarkers(lng = ~long, 
             lat = ~lat,
             radius = 5,
             opacity = 0.4,
             stroke = FALSE,
             color = ~pal(problem)) %>%
  addLegend(position = "bottomleft",
            pal = pal,
            values = ~problem) 

16. Save the folder from moodle called Minneapolis_Neighborhoods into your project/repository folder for this assignment. Make sure the folder is called Minneapolis_Neighborhoods. Use the code below to read in the data and make sure to delete the eval=FALSE. Although it looks like it only links to the .sph file, you need the entire folder of files to create the mpls_nbhd data set. These data contain information about the geometries of the Minneapolis neighborhoods. Using the mpls_nbhd dataset as the base file, join the mpls_suspicious and MplsDemo datasets to it by neighborhood (careful, they are named different things in the different files). Call this new dataset mpls_all.

mpls_nbhd <- st_read("Minneapolis_Neighborhoods/Minneapolis_Neighborhoods.shp", quiet = TRUE)

mpls_all <- mpls_nbhd %>%
  left_join(mpls_suspicious, by = c('BDNAME' = 'neighborhood')) %>%
  left_join(MplsDemo, by = c('BDNAME' = 'neighborhood'))

17. Use leaflet to create a map from the mpls_all data that colors the neighborhoods by prop_suspicious. Display the neighborhood name as you scroll over it. Describe what you observe in the map.

overall, the proportion of suspicious stops decreases from south to north Minneapolis and the Morris Park neighborhood has the highest proportion.

pal <- colorNumeric('viridis', 
                    domain = mpls_all$prop_sus)

leaflet(data = mpls_all) %>%
  addProviderTiles(providers$Stamen.TonerHybrid) %>%
  addPolygons(fillColor = ~pal(prop_sus),
              fillOpacity = 0.5,
              weight = 0.5,
              highlight = highlightOptions(weight = 5, 
                                 color = "black",
                                 fillOpacity = 0.9,
                                 bringToFront = FALSE),
              popup = ~paste(BDNAME)) %>%
  addLegend(position = "bottomleft",
            pal = pal,
            values = ~prop_sus) 

18. Use leaflet to create a map of your own choosing. Come up with a question you want to try to answer and use the map to help answer that question. Describe what your map shows.

From the ‘Stations’ data set, it seems like every station starts with some bikes along with some empty docks. How full each station is can be measured by the proportion of the number of bikes and the total slots. How this proportion differs by location?

Looks like in city centers there are some stations that have no bikes and only docks, and vice versa. In most other places it is the stations are decently full, and not either extremely empty or totally full.

newDataSet <- Stations %>%
  mutate(fullness = nbBikes / (nbBikes + nbEmptyDocks))

pal <- colorNumeric('viridis',
                    domain = newDataSet$fullness)

leaflet(data = newDataSet) %>%
  addProviderTiles(providers$Stamen.Terrain) %>%
  addCircleMarkers(lng = ~long,
                   lat = ~lat,
                   opacity = 0.5,
                   radius = 1,
                   color = ~pal(fullness)) %>%
  addLegend(position = "bottomleft",
            pal = pal,
            values = ~fullness)
